Oh my GOSH Linds, that house is GORGEOUS!! It looks just like you! Now it just needs to be filled with children

I wish I could have replied earlier but we had company for a barbeque and an evening of Wii

We got pre-approved for MORE than the asking price of the house. And we aren't planning on offering the asking price. It's overwhelming... that house could be ours!

Everything is falling in to place for you and Scott!! Congratulations...the house COULD be yours!! It looks move-in ready...so make an offer

I talked to my realtor last night and let her know we're kind of looking at that place, but that if we put in an offer it would need to be conditional on our condo selling. She was like "Not only will I help you with the house, I can think of one person off the top of my head that would be interested in your condo.. a single girl with a pet"
It kind of feels like it's meant to be! But I can't stop having second thoughts about it. If we move we might realize we don't like paying so much for a mortgage! But if we let it go we might regret it forever. Eventually we'll be paying at least that much for a mortgage anyway... I don't want to live in the condo when I have kids. Lots of people do, but just to get some fresh air I'd have to haul a dog, stroller, and baby up and down three flights of stairs

So that's not ideal! I'm trying to keep the future in mind

Aww Lindsey, you have a big decision ahead of you. I'm sure you guys will think everything through and make the right choice for you two. Good luck. Let us know.

I can't imagine carrying a baby, stroller, dog and not to mention diaper bag, car seat, etc up and down 3 fights of stairs.

Exactly! Even getting ready to go somewhere for a weekend is such a big deal trying to load the car. In the new place we could just pack stuff up in the attached garage! I have not lived in a place with a garage since I moved out of my parents' house! I kind of miss it.

And Scott will LOVE it. He has an old (50's I think) Chevy truck that he and his dad have been taking apart to restore, but he's not home to work on it anymore and they don't really have room there anyway. But if he brought it up here, he could work on it whenever he wanted! And I could get my treadmill back from my brother

They took it when I had no room in the condo!

Plus, we could store our motorcycles in the garage for the winter. Right now we're paying his friend to store them in his garage

And I haven't been riding much in the past year or so anyway because city drivers are crazy and I don't feel safe. There are so many motorcycle accidents here. I would ride it a lot more in a small town!

I'm talking myself into it
